Description

Finding a filament clip should be easy for such a small piece of plastic. But after almost 2 years of 3D printing I didn't find the best one so I made The Perfect one :). My requests was:

no side mount of the spool - will eventually break the zip begs
no filament bend - hate this
easy to print with less material
sort of snap fit for the filament

I was inspired by this but I start from scratch adding some edges to the original idea for the filament to snap fit. This is my “Hello World” project in Fusion360.

Print info: 0.2mm layer or lower, 3 perimeters. Print one for test: if is too tie or too loose play with the flow. Different filaments have different tolerances.

I printed in PLA CF and tested with spools of PLA, PETG, FLEX, but I highly recommend to print in a tough material like PLA+, PETG or even better to reduce wear and tear.

The print profile is no longer public

The design's not bad. but it was a little loose for me with bamboos basic PLA filament. Probably just need to tweak it a little bit for your own PLA. but overall not bad.

Easy and fast to print and does fit back into the packaging without any problem. Other clips on the outside of the spool make it difficult put it back in the box. I've printed over 25 of this clips by now.
